OER-SCEP Action Plan for K-12 District Implementation
Overview
This guide serves as a strategic planning tool for district leaders who seek to harness the pedagogical and financial benefits of creating or adapting Open Educational Resources (OER) to support all students through a Student-Centered and Equitable Practices (SCEP) lens. The guide provides step-by-step planning tools, including examples, templates, and resources to help district leaders articulate and establish action plans for integrating OER in ways that promote accessibility, inclusive learning environments, and instructional flexibility. As an open educational resource itself, this guide is free and openly licensed for reuse, remixing, and resharing.

The guide contains a series of informational sections and reusable templates aimed at supporting district leaders and their educators in creating structures, making decisions and plans, and advancing new strategies for integrating open educational resources (OER) and student-centered and equitable practices (SCEP), as a comprehensive approach to improving teaching and learning for all.
This guide is a remix published by the #GoOpen National Network, facilitated by ISKME, of an original document, created in 2022. Titled "OER-DEIA Action Plan for K-12 District Implementation: A Guide for Decision Making and Integrating Open Educational Resources (OER) and Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility (DEIA)," its development relied on the groundwork, advisement, and authorship of the following contributors: Rebecca M. Henderson, Westmoreland Intermediate Unit, Pennsylvania; Tracy Rains, Appalachia Intermediate Unit, Pennsylvania; Kelly Hammond, CUNY Graduate Center and CUNY School of Professional Studies, New York; Amee Evans Godwin, ISKME, California; An-Me Chung, New America, Washington, D.C.

This guide is a remix of the original document that was collaboratively developed by members of K-12 Voices for Open, a group of 50-plus educators and leaders working together to support OER implementation in K-12 classrooms across the country. This community-led effort is facilitated by the Institute for the Study of Knowledge Management in Education (ISKME, www.iskme.org) and with support from the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation.
